In the evening, Zhao Junyao came over.
Having been busy all day, he appeared quite exhausted.
He entered and changed his clothes, then rested on the couch with his eyes closed.
Xia Ru handed him a cup of tea, asking curiously.
"Has something happened?"
Zhao Junyao remained silent for a moment, then said.
"The Northwestern brigands are becoming increasingly rampant, defying suppression, recently there have been several incidents of bandits burning and looting, yet strangely..."
"The western region hasn't suffered any disasters in the past two years, the people have enough to eat and wear, they wouldn't cause trouble, where are these bandits truly coming from?"
Generally speaking, only continuous disasters, leaving the people unable to live, would drive them to gather and cause trouble.
Even becoming bandits, living on robbery and extortion for money and food to survive.
With no disasters, living contentedly, who would be bored enough to become a bandit?
